In a big effort to eliminate my concern for safety regarding the old chop
saw, I ordered a DeWalt from Santa.and got it.
Lots of power.
Big 12" blade.
All kinds of safety equipment..
PERFECT!
I put the manual aside and put her to work.
Vertical cut.smooth and clean, no saw noise!
45 degree cut..excellent, point nice and sharp!
Compound miter cut...SSHSHHHSHSHHIIINNNNNNGGGGG!
I now know that the DeWalt DW716 will cut cast aluminum just as clean as a 2
x 4. It appears that the high fence must be moved back prior to cutting.
Luckily! Very luckily! I had my safety glasses on. Otherwise, I'd be
minus an eye from the shrapnel the saw flung at me.
Lesson: READ THE MANUAL FIRST
Be safe!
